It does come only in reels. The Black Fire that comes in sets, seems to be the same, but I'm not sure. I'll send them an email to ask. Also, I've bought a set of the Polystar Classic 1.20/17. It was just 3.5€ on Tennis Point!!! Now it's only 1.5€!!! I've read it's old school, but Nikola Aracic from Intuitive Tennis says it's good. I'll try it this Spring after I've played with several other strings, to see what's what.
Hey Mark, I've a quastion about 2 Strings you already reviewed. How would you describe the difference between the Isospeed Baseline Control and the Tourna Big Hitter Silver and which one would you choose?
Check Stringlab Italia and their Orbitour Gold 1.24/1.28 string. It's oval shaped. Made in Austria. Felt like Isospeed to be honest. Great string at a very low price.
Mark, it looks like Komodo have abandoned tennis and have been quite busy with Pickleball. I emailed them to see what's the status with their tennis dept..
Hey Mark, what string will you recomend for the Yonex Vcore 95? My playability is kind of half spin and half flat forehand with one- handed back hand. Im searching for control that can maintain the ball inside que court but some power when i need. Thankss Mark
@@tonychou016 if you want all balls to fall inside your opponent's baseline, try the Stringkong Banana Bite 1.19. Yes, funny name, I know, but after the short break-in period, I couldn't miss with it. Most surprising string I've ever played with. Only downside for you is that it is quite low powered. If you are from Europe, check Isospeed and Stringlab Italia. Large variety of strings, great price tags and excellent quality.
Never heard of Komodo (or your calves lol) prior to this video. Sorry to hear that you didn't like it though; more American companies in the tennis industries is good for American tennis. Hopefully they can improve on the Envy. Thanks for the review!
Hi there Mark, I've just finished playtesting the Komodo Envy at 22kg on my Diadem Elevate FS 98. I disagree on the ball bite. Yes, it wasn't great (not better than the Solstice Power 16L), but the ball would dip down quickly if you use a lively wrist movement. It performed better on flat forehands, though. It definetly felt stiff, so it should be strung at 21kg tops. I really enjoyed hitting one-handed backhands with the Envy.
Unfortunately, many brands tend to say that their products are DESIGNED in USA, FRANCE or Germany, but neglect to say that they are made in China to keep the production costs low and maximize their profits.
@@experientialtennispickleball There's no indication from their website that even the R&D is done in the US. It smells like off-the-shelf Chinese designed and manufactured strings branded and marketed by a US company.
@@a2casius Recenlty, I came up with tennis strings made in China (Optum, Alpha etc) that resemble 99% with tennis strings in the European Market. I suspect orders from China/Taiwan, re-packaging, re-branding, overpricing, selling... That doesn't mean in any case that those strings that are made there and are brought to us re-packaged are rubbish. You have to playtest them first.
@@experientialtennispickleball I totally agree with you. I'm not implying they're rubbish but I'm certainly implying that they are far too expensive what they actually are.

There's a tennis racket on their website. Seems like they are getting ready to release their racket lineup very soon.
You should test diadem strings next. I’ve seen good thing s about solstice power and Your reviews are always the best
The Solstice Power 16L is a great string! Just played with it last two weeks.
iso speed baseline… a must have poly…It punches way above its weight.
It does come only in reels. The Black Fire that comes in sets, seems to be the same, but I'm not sure. I'll send them an email to ask.

Hey Mark,Have you heard about the new Isospeed Rexxxer. Can you test it please. It's an oval shape string.
You can see a short review of the Rexxxer on Tennis Spin channel.
I'm also getting it soon.
Check Stringlab Italia and their Orbitour Gold 1.24/1.28 string. It's oval shaped. Made in Austria. Felt like Isospeed to be honest. Great string at a very low price.
Have you tried Laserfibre JB Tour 100? Curious to know your thoughts if so. I haven't, but have friends that switched to it recently.
You should check out Toroline strings, they're based in California and have a nice deal for their sample packs.

What tension do you string at?

They're about to release Tennis Rackets this Spring, also!
Komodo website has been removed for months now. Maybe they called this whole thing off.
Never heard of them and I like to think I stay on top of new string companies
They're about to release tennis rackets this Spring. Don't know any specs yet, but I'm in close touch with them.
the end of the song going over your intro was kinda wack daddy

Do they "actually" manufacture in Colorado or are they just "branding" some cheap outsourced Chinese manufactured strings?
